Design Ideas | A great perennial for rock gardens and around landscape boulders and outcroppings where it visually anchors stone. Dense habit also makes a fine groundcover mass on banks and slopes or cascading off retaining walls and curbs. Plant in the front of perennial borders for casual edging. Essential in the cottage garden border where its relaxed nature is the perfect character. Well suited to sunny openings in woodlands for an attractive self sufficient carpet. Perfect for troughs and porous ceramic containers. |
